Austin A30/A35 Vans

In 1954 Van and Countryman versions completed the Austin A30 range. In 1954 the A30 was upgraded, gaining a 948cc version of the A-series engine and a wraparound rear window. Vans received the same engine upgrade and revised lighting. A35 cars ceased production in 1958 as the A40 Farina took over, but the Vans and Countryman versions continued to be sold. In 1962 the Series II A35 Van was given plainer door skins and a white grille, and later in 1962 the 1098cc A-series engine was available in a 6cwt version (AV8). From 1966 to 1968 A35 Vans were given the 848cc engine for local delivery work.

While the A35 saloons were replaced by the Mini in 1959, the van soldiered on, with a MkII version (type AV6) being launched in 1962, identifiable by its white radiator grille and less-fussy door skins. This version lasted just 6 months, before being replaced by the MkIII version (type A-AV8) in October of the same year, which gained the 1098cc A-series engine. Finally, in May 1966, the 1098cc engine was supplanted by the Mini's 848cc unit, considered adequate for the sort of local delivery work these vans invariably undertook. Production ceased in February 1968.	Austin A30 AV4 5cwt Van. Single red tail lamps for the A30 Van, A35 Vans had amber indicators in addition to the red lamps.	Austin A30 and A35.
